Mane-taining the trans-seasonal glamour

Whether it’s a fringe, layer, or a whole new shade of hair, the trans-season brings with it the perfect opportunity to test out different hairstyles.  We list out top styles to try out: 

BEACH MESSY BUN
A beach messy bun is the simplest hair-do a girl can go for. Apply a heat protective, straightening cream towards the end of your hair and at the roots, use a full volume mousse. Blow-dry four-inch sections of hair (using medium heat), holding hairdryer a little away from your head, and use a paddle brush to straighten each section. Pull hair into a loose ponytail and secure with elastic at your crown. Twist and wrap your hair into a messy bun. Run your finger through the front of your hair to loosen it.

WATER FALL BRAID
Start making a front fish-tail braid and keep merging the sections till you reach the nape area. Turn hair in “U” shape manner and repeat process till you reach below nape area of other ear. Now start making a normal fish-tail braid from leftover hair. 

DUTCH HALO
Begin by dividing your hair into equal strands. You can start making a braid directly from the forehead or after giving a space of about four fingers from the forehead. Divide hair below the horizontal part into three equal sections, A, B and C. Place A under C and B under A to create a Dutch braid. Repeat the last step with sections A, B and C as you continue forming a braid around perimeter of the head. Continue braiding until braid encircles head and returns to starting point. Curve and tuck the loose, remaining braid into upper half of the existing crown braid. Secure base of the braid into the scalp using hair pins.
